According to federal law, marijuana is an illegal drug, yet 20 states and the District of Columbia have decriminalized its use for medicinal purposes, and both Washington and Colorado have decriminalized it for recreational use. This trend is sure to spread throughout the country. Attend this webinar to gain a better understanding of how such laws affect your company’s HR policies and practices.
